Bai Yao was shocked, wondering what kind of luck this was. She immediately opened the hidden compartment and took out the contents.
It was a secret manual with the words "Blood King Scripture" written on the cover. Next to the manual was a note that read: "Promotes the circulation of Qi and blood, regenerates muscles and bones, the holy scripture of medicine, only the Blood King."
Upon seeing that this was a medical book, Bai Yao immediately flipped through it and read the first chapter: "A drop of blood sinks into the pool to build a sea tower, a golden elixir transforms into the moon to sail a shallow boat, the primordial spirit is embraced in the arms and transformed by will, life and death are separated by a single thought to avoid the nine netherworlds..."
The girl was unaware that the Blood King Scripture she held in her hand was actually a secret technique of the Blood God Sect. In her mind, the scripture contained only techniques for self-cultivation and saving others.
So, with the intention of saving people, Bai Yao began to cultivate the Blood King Scripture.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yuhan, who was wandering around the Blood King's Cave with Miao Xiaodie, also received a system notification.
"System detection: Bai Yao has completed the Blood King Scripture storyline quest. Host, you have gained 2000 points. Do you wish to redeem your remaining points for rewards?"
Xiao Yuhan had no time to study the system's rewards and declined, saying, "I don't need them for now."
The girl dressed in Xiao Yuhan's clothes followed behind, complaining, "Young man, where are you going? Aren't you supposed to be rescuing someone? Are you kidding me?"
"I didn't ask you to come along. You're the one who insisted on returning a favor to me!"
Miao Xiaodie glared at him angrily, "You can't do that, it's so tiring."
Xiao Yuhan frowned, turned around and bowed to Miao Xiaodie, "Sect Leader Miao, how about we part ways here? I don't want you to repay any favors..."
"No way! We Miao people don't like owing favors to others!"
Helpless, Xiao Yuhan could only let her follow him. As they walked, they arrived outside the forbidden area of the Blood King Cave. Because when Xiao Yuhan fought with that "Miao Xiaodie" before, he felt Liu Jiantang's terrifying sword intent, which even shaved off half a mountain. He was really uneasy.
...
On the other side, within the blood pool, a deafening roar resounded, and a figure slowly emerged from the pool. As soon as he appeared, all the blood corpses submitted and kowtowed. Long Tu looked at his masterpiece with great joy and laughed loudly.
Liu Jiantang held the Dragon-Slaying Sword, his eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a faint bloody aura. At this moment, his eyes were lifeless, and his killing intent was chilling, as if an ancient demon god had descended to earth. No one dared to approach him.
Long Tu approached Liu Jiantang almost frantically, his eyes filled with greed.
"Hahaha, the number one sword immortal of this era, become my Blood King Gu! To hell with the Heavenly Sword Sect, I am invincible..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Dragon Slayer Sword pierced Long Tu's throat. Long Tu stared at Liu Jiantang in disbelief, wanting to say something, but with his throat pierced, he could no longer make a sound. Liu Jiantang pulled out his sword, a sinister sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
The white-robed swordsman had now transformed into a blood-clad demon. He kicked Long Tu away and then reappeared in front of him. Liu Jiantang, as if possessed, abandoned his Dragon-Slaying Sword and rained blows on Long Tu.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
The sound of fists slamming into Long Tu echoed throughout the valley. After an unknown amount of time, the person in front of Liu Jiantang had turned into a blurry mass of flesh and blood.
He probably never imagined that the Blood King Gu, which he had painstakingly cultivated with the strongest sword immortal technique, would personally end his life. After years of planning and deliberation to revitalize the Blood God Sect, he never expected that he would die because of his own ambition.
At the same time, Xiao Yuhan and her companion, who had heard the terrifying commotion nearby, rushed over. Upon seeing the scene, Xiao Yuhan was still unaware of what had happened. Just as she was about to go up and greet her senior brother, Miao Xiaodie stopped her, saying, "Don't go! He's possessed by a demon! This is the Blood King Gu!"
"What is the Blood King Gu?" Xiao Yuhan turned to look at the girl.
The girl frowned deeply, her expression extremely grave. "Oh no! Oh no! This person is Liu Jiantang, the Lingyun Sword Immortal of your Heavenly Sword Sect, right? Damn it! Someone as powerful as him has turned into the Blood King Gu; even your sect leader probably couldn't defeat him!"
"So, what exactly happened to my senior brother?" Xiao Yuhan asked anxiously.
"He's been turned into a Blood King Gu by someone else. This Gu technique combines the forbidden techniques of my Five Immortals Sect with the Blood King Scripture of the Blood God Sect. He's beyond saving. Now we can only try to kill him!"
Looking at Miao Xiaodie's serious expression, Xiao Yuhan became increasingly worried. Although this girl didn't seem very reliable, she was still the leader of the Five Immortals Sect. The original story also mentioned that she was someone who could rival the sect leader. So her words were somewhat credible.
"How can we save him?" Xiao Yuhan had barely finished speaking when the system's voice rang out again.
"Notification: System plot has changed. Long Tu has been killed by Liu Jiantang, who is in the Blood King Gu state. Host's main quest has failed, deducting 10,000 points! Remaining points!"
Frustrated and agitated, Xiao Yuhan, influenced by Miao Xiaodie, blurted out in fluent Sichuan dialect: "Got it! Stop blabbering! I'll get you soon!"
At this moment, Miao Xiaodie pressed down on Xiao Yuhan's head, signaling him to lie down so as not to be discovered. "He is not in his right mind right now, and we don't know what he might do. Don't let him see us."
"Is Senior Brother really beyond saving?" Xiao Yuhan pressed.
Miao Xiaodie shook her head. "I don't know if he can be saved, but I won't help you save him. This person is too dangerous. Even before he became the Blood King Gu, I wasn't sure I could completely defeat him, let alone now. However... if your sect leader were here, we might have a chance to subdue him if we joined forces!"
Xiao Yuhan was worried and secretly glanced ahead. At this moment, Liu Jiantang was like a wild beast without any reason. After venting his anger on Long Tu, he began to look for living creatures. However, after looking around and not finding any living people, he vented his anger on the blood corpses.
Even though these blood corpses didn't dare to fight him, they still couldn't escape a massacre.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword unleashed a terrifying aura, bringing with it a boundless sword intent. Miao Xiaodie grabbed Xiao Yuhan, fearing, "Let's hurry up and leave, this person is too terrifying."
"Is this what you call helping me? Repaying a favor?"
"I saved your life, what more do you want? Isn't it enough that I didn't abandon you and run away?" Miao Xiaodie said in fluent Sichuan dialect.
Xiao Yuhan had only taken two steps when the commotion behind them suddenly stopped. Curious, Xiao Yuhan turned around and saw a familiar figure in red. She immediately stopped and almost tripped Miao Xiaodie.
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Xiao Yuhan turned around to observe, and then saw that Long Xiaoyu had appeared here at some point, holding a jade flute in her hand and gently playing it as she walked step by step toward Liu Jiantang.
Upon hearing the flute music, Liu Jiantang appeared to be in great pain, but he stopped what he was doing and ceased his madness.
